Then we have GOP Senators like Josh Hawley, Missouri (R).
A couple more like him will sink any Trump's SCOTUS nominees.“I will vote only for those Supreme Court nominees who have explicitly acknowledged that Roe v. Wade is wrongly decided,” Hawley told the Washington Post in an interview. “By explicitly acknowledged, I mean on the record and before they were nominated.”
Biden refused to express a opinion on what he would or not support..........https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/22/j...king-ginsburg/
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declined to say in an interview Monday whether he would support adding seats to the Supreme Court, signaling a shift from the primary race when the former vice president said he opposed increasing the number of justices because Democrats would “live to rue the day.”
“It’s a legitimate question, but let me tell you why I’m not going to answer that question,” Biden said in an interview with Wisconsin TV station WBAY when asked if he supports the concept of packing the Supreme Court.
“It will shift the focus, that’s what [Trump] wants,” Biden said in defense of dodging the question on court packing.
“Let’s say I answer,” said Biden, “then the whole debate’s gonna be about what Biden said or didn’t say. Biden said he would or wouldn’t. The discussion should be about why [Trump] is moving in a direction that is totally inconsistent with what the founders wanted.”
“It is a fundamental breach of constitutional principle. It must stay on that and it shouldn’t happen,” Biden told WBAY.
Or did he?

Good.
No need to give the "other party" a play from your playbook. Let the voters see for themselves just how horrible the GOP are and then they can decide if adding seats to the courts or not is what we should do.
Besides, I'm not clicking that link from the dailycaller.

https://www.wbay.com/2020/09/22/one-...nee-joe-biden/Joe Biden’s Answer: “It’s a legitimate question, but let me tell you why I’m not going answer that question. Because it will shift the focus, that’s what he wants, he never wants to talk about the issue at hand and he always tries to change the subject. Let’s say I answer that question, then the whole debates gonna be about what Biden said or didn’t say, Biden said he would or wouldn’t. The discussion should be about why he is moving in a direction that’s totally inconsistent with what founders wanted. The Constitution says voters get to pick a president who gets to make the pick and the senate gets to decide. We’re in the middle of the election right now, you know people are voting now. By the time this supreme court hearing would be held, if they hold one, it’s estimate 30 to 40% of American people already have voted. It is a fundamental breach of constitutional principle. It must stay on that and it shouldn’t happen.”
Full context of his answer. It's a good answer and the right answer in the moment.

It's not a flip-flop, it's him not taking the bait on a nonsense question.
In unrelated matters to Biden now playing a silly game - https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...-200000-2020-9
Trump has gone on more golf vacations during a 7 months of the pandemic than I have have had vacations (I don't golf) in the past 5 years.In the course of roughly seven months, more than 200,000 Americans have died from the novel coronavirus. No other country in the world has more confirmed fatalities from COVID-19 than the US. The US also has the highest number of reported COVID-19 cases of any country: more than 6.8 million.
As the virus swept across the US, President Donald Trump downplayed the threat, deflected blame to others, and routinely visited his properties to play golf. From the time of the first known death from COVID-19 in the US (February 6) to the present day, Trump golfed at least 25 times, according to Trump Golf Count, which tracks the president's golf outings.
Meanwhile, thousands upon thousands of Americans died from a virus that Trump deliberately downplayed in an effort to avoid causing "panic."
And my vacations haven't been as 200,000 people die under my watch, millions end up unemployed and struggling, and nearly 7 million have been confirmed to have a virus that appears to have long-lasting health effects.
Incoming Idiocraty.
(to be clear, that's me agreeing with you, and referencing a movie to do so)
